Reagan, known as the Great Communicator, had the ability to simplify issues and offer clear-cut answers. He was a well known actor before, so very popular and a great speaker. Reagan character can be surmised as having had been relaxed, charming, and affable quality to him. He was able to simplify issues and present clear-cut answers which earned him supporters and admirers.
